Mechanical Contemporary Semi Skeleton Blue Grey - Ltd Ed 900pcs Ref. RE-AT0021L

Japan is known for many things, perhaps one of the most widely recognised for its technological innovations. In the world of watches, Japanese watchmakers are widely known to excel in integrating modern technologies and meticulous craftsmanship to their watches, proving to be a serious competitor against the Swiss. Since 1950, Orient has been one of the most prominent watchmakers in Japan, producing mechanical in-house movements and high quality watches that pack incredible value. Joining the Seiko Epson group in the early 2000s, Orient continued to strive in producing a wide array of options ranging from divers to dress watches.

Orient Star features Orient's luxury line of JDM watches, offering their most premium and most eminent watches among their brand. Distinguished by the beautifully finished movements and refined designs, Orient Star focuses primarily on three main categories: Classic, Sports and Contemporary, each having their own unique design element and characteristics.

Orient has unveiled their latest iteration of their Contemporary line, the Orient Star Contemporary Semi Skeleton Blue Grey Limited Edition. Introducing a serene gradient blue grey dial to the Contemporary line up, this new addition is set to amaze. Being part of the Contemporary collection, this exquisite timepiece exhibits a modern aesthetic that delivers elegance and sophistication to suit any occasion.

Off the bat, a high level of detail is reflected in the tastefully finished case of the Orient Star Contemporary Semi Skeleton Blue Grey Limited Edition. The stainless steel case receives a highly polished bevelled edge that extends from one end of the lug to another, adding a touch of depth and luxurious character to the case.

This high polish finish contrasts especially well with the satin brushed finish on the side of the case. Having a case diameter of 39.3mm, a thickness of 12mm and a lug to lug distance of 46.2mm, the watch has a versatile size that fits many wrist sizes. Moreover, the lugs curve downwards gently, allowing the watch to hug the wrist comfortably. The watch is water resistant up to 100m (10 bar), perfect for everyday use.

One of the most captivating features of the Orient Star Contemporary Semi Skeleton Blue Grey is its dial. Protected beneath a flat sapphire crystal, the design draws inspiration from Keshiki, celebrating the beauty of Japanese landscapes, and incorporates colours that evoke the sky and sea, connecting the world in a subtle harmony. Within this theme, the poetic concept of snowlight comes alive, capturing the serene shimmer of light across snow-covered ground and softly illuminating its surroundings. The new blue-grey execution enriches this imagery, gradually fading into a deep navy on the upper half, creating a gentle interplay of light and shadow that reflects the quiet elegance of a tranquil winter landscape.

The skeletonized cut-out at the 9 o'clock position displays the beating heart of the movement, viewing the moving parts of the movement is simply a joy to watch. The dauphine hands are painted with luminous paint to add visibility in dark lighting conditions. The intricately finished applied indices adds another dimension to the dial, making it truly sophisticated and elegant. 


Each piece carries a unique serial number engraving on the screw-in case back, emphasizing its exclusivity. Through thecase back, the in-house caliber F6F42 is revealed, an automatic movement crafted exclusively for Orient timepieces. This refined engine is equipped with 22 jewels, provides a 50-hour power reserve, and runs at a steady 21,600 vibrations per hour, showcasing Orient's dedication to both precision and craftsmanship.

The Orient Star Contemporary Modern Skeleton comes on a 20mm stainless steel bracelet that has a combination of satin brushed finish and polished finish, complimenting the finishes on the case. The bracelet is fitted with solid end links to hold the watch securely on the wrist.

Drawing on more than half a century of dedicated watchmaking expertise, Orient presents the Orient Star Contemporary Semi Skeleton as a perfect blend of modern design and traditional craftsmanship. Its impeccably executed semi skeleton dial continues the brand's proud horological legacy, while the Keshiki motif captures the tranquil beauty of Japanese landscapes. As part of the Contemporary collection, this model offers remarkable value, pairing refined elegance with a luxurious presence that makes it shine effortlessly on any occasion.
